Hello,
So A-hole broke into my car yesterday, he smashed the drivers window but before that he tried to pound a screwdriver into the drivers door lock. I am searching for a good door handle with a lock that I can re-key. Does anyone have experience re-keying the door handle lock? I need some advise and guidance to accomplish this. Thanks in advance. Mike |

Do a search. There is a step by step on how to do them. Not that hard really.

It is not that hard. My car came w/o keys and I rekeyed ALL of the locks to match the new ignition.
It was helpful that I had spare lock cylinders so I had extra wafers. I took all of my locks apart, measured (some were not numbered) and sorted the wafers and figured out what my key was and rebuilt. Dont forget the vallet wafer. There is a member here that sells lock sets in the classifeds and I think he is in your area (nope I checked he is near SLO). I bet he can help you with the wafers; you may need extras to properly key the lock. Here he is: link |

But I will keep this info for future reference. Mike |
